Eating particularly large meals at iftar (consuming more than 1500 calories per meal), which may result in high blood glucose levels after eating and weight gain.

Eating significant amounts of highly processed carbohydrates (Bagels, panini) and sugar at iftar, or between iftar and suhoor, which may also cause severe hyperglycaemia.

Eating desserts loaded with sugar after iftar, which can lead to raised blood glucose levels after meals.

Having large and frequent snacks between the two main meals, which can contribute to longer periods of high glucose levels.

Eating at a fast speed, which frequently leads to over-eating.

Eating suhoor early, which may result in feeling hungry before iftar, especially when fasting hours are longer than usual.

Consumption of large portions of high glycaemic index (GI) carbohydrates at suhoor, which can lead to high blood glucose levels after meals.

Frying food, which is particularly unhealthy, whereas many people choose to prepare snacks in the oven, bake or grill to keep food healthy and have less calories.
